Luna explainded to me that while preparing her final exam for the Architectural University her and her husband businessman Paolo Mandelli, saw this curious name in the Milanese Archives of Goldsmiths. LVH was the first goldsmith of Milan back in the 12th century to be registered, without much thinking at the time Luna copied the name in her diary and saved it. A few years later when they decided to persue their own carrier as Jewelry Designers the selection of this name became almost natural.

Now her creations adorn the most charming women:

from Drew Berrymore to Cameron Diaz, from JLO to

Michelle Obama just to name a few of the Devotee

One of a kind pieces that are beautiful to wear and

it almost a sin to hide in a jewelry box....

An unforgettable place to dine

Ristorante Piazza Duomo in Alba (Piedmont Reagion in Italy)

It has been a pleasure meeting Luna, be part of her world even for just a few

hours has been like enter a storybook: her beautiful way to talk about her work

and the playful way she uses to create her jewelry just as child would

have fun playing with clay. She gets the energy from every single

stone, pearl or once of gold transforming them in jewelry that are so mature and unique in style. She relay on her instint reather then a formal sketch having a natural sense of proportions from her trainging in architecture.

The results are unique pieces as works of art. As I said before you cannot hide them in a jewlry box, they will become part of your surrondings as miniature sculpures.

I cannot fully suggest how to obtain the Penthouse overlooking Central Park

but this is how you can have the stylish Luxury Hen Residence...

My Friend Robin Horton author of the green blog URBAN GARDENS while visiting the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, stumbled upon Raad’s modernist solar chicken coop for urban hens. This coop is so sophisticated, the desigers call it a “Residence.”
A all new flock of Urban Sophisticated Chicks has arrived.

I love Robin's captivating selling points:

3 floors of luxury living for the discerning hen. Low maintenance. Great views. No Coop board approval.

As Robin eloquently posted, these “residences” are the non-plus-ultra of green design too: each utilizes passive heat and cooling systems, driving a fan to supplement the systems throughout the summer. The triplex hen house offers floor to ceiling windows and “great views.” The first floor contains a “scratch n’ run” area, the second floor four egg-laying units, and the third floor houses a roosting perch described as the “Egg Lounge.” The design includes plenty of storage for bedding and food, while a sliding tray provides for easy clean up.

The Stylish Residence arrives flat-packed and it is ready for an easy to do mounting.
It is constructed of routed exterior grade plywood and acrylic sheets. You can personalize it if you plan to give it as a gift.

He is credited with creating a simple geometric hair style called the wedge bob

said to be inspired by the artistic movemnet the Bauhaus.

Revolutionary in that period.

TWO.

Sassoon's former model and creative director of American Vogue, Grace Coddington, said that "he changed the way everyone looked at hair. Before Sassoon, it was all back-combing and lacquer; the whole thing was to make it high and artificial. Suddenly you could put your fingers through your hair!

THREE.

His Vidal Sassoon brand was applied to hair products sold worldwide, with a commercial campaign featuring the iconic slogan

Start with a Room at the divine Le Meurice, Paris part of The Dorchester Collection

A gift in the gift! I cannot think of a better gift to give to your best friend, your mom, your daughter, your sister, your Boss (a very good one) then a trip to Paris to shop for the Holidays. Just a night or two, very girly very fun!

I would start with a great Hotel, luxe and easy. If its home of the Valmont Spa even better, I think a deep tissue massage and 15 minutes of hamman can be perfect after a busy day shopping.

I also heard that there is a great exhibition of jewelry of Van Cleef.

Musée des Arts décoratifs

107, rue de Rivoli, just a few steps from Le Meurice Hotel

Paris 75001

on until february so not to be missed.
Around 500 creations that have made the fame of the Maison are highlighted and shown with archives, documents and drawings, in an exhibition design by
Jouin-Manku.
The history of Van Cleef & Arpels is studded with technical inventions passed down by the Mains d’Orof the Maison from generation to generation. It is this knowledge, kept secret and combined with imagination and very free sources of inspiration that underpins this formidable profusion of forms and models.
All the pieces have been researched and dated for this exhibition, so that the chronology of their creation can be precisely retraced for the first time.

No visit to Paris is complete without dine at my favorite Chef in Paris
